Madison's Journal


I wanted to share this special order journal for a birthday girl...it has 100 lined pages and 40 blank pages...chipboard covers. I had a lot of fun making it! It was much like that contest I was in. I was given a little direction and left free to create. Fun.

Creative Chaos

My favorite scrapbook store is going out of business....well, trying to find a buyer. The current owner of Creative Chaos wants to sell the business. This makes me very sad. It is so nice to have a neighborhood scrapbook store. I went by the other day and Carmen, one of the wonderful ladies that works there, was working on a page with her daughter. The store was closed already, but I walked right in. She was welcoming and I told her I needed to get some paper to make my father's day gift. She let me take what I needed and told me to pay for it next time I was in. I can guarantee you, Hobby Lobby won't be doing that for you any time soon. Long live the neighborhood shops. I hate to see this owner go, but I hope the business doesn't disappear all together. Support the moms and pops of the world.
